    Unhappy Re: cloudy and still balancing metals... help!

    pool store wont test for metal , but I just added polyquat to prevent algae and ascorbic acid and the stain lifted. I put the sequestering agent in next with culator bags and skim socks in baskets. Then, my chlorine dropped to almost nothing so i will adjust it and ph levels tomorrow after ascorbic acid is dissolved, that is how I understand the directions posted in the sticky about removing stains with ascorbic acid. Please let me know if that's ok... This has been an issue for the last few years, perhaps I should drain the pool at the end of the season, but I dont know where the metal comes from. We are not on well water...

    Is it safe to swim or should we wait till tomorrow?

    PS After adding sequestering agent and running filer for 30 min the water is cloudy, is that from the ascorbic acid or metal free sequestering agent? it was fine all morning when I had it on circulate,now its cloudy.
